If Day was a 1942 simulated Nazi invasion of Manitoba (especially Winnipeg) with reservists, volunteers, trainees, and others dressed as Nazis faking an invasion in a fund raising drive. As part of it Manitoba radio stations were broadcasting fake Nazi propaganda and Hitler speeches.
Now OTL they warned the American border towns of what was being planned. Let's say that for whatever reason the warnings aren't as clear, some get lost in the mail, and whatnot so most of the Americans living near the border don't know what's happening (not totally plausible, but I've seen bigger things handwaved). How badly could they panic?
